Hello htkaki,

Do you think Jamo Sub 300 =>cost around $1700 is good deal?

The reason I still think of Jamo Sub because I have the Jamo 606 package speaker. I did audit the sub 250 with 606 speaker...is much better if compare without....
I did try to audit Wharfy SUB 250 at DESA..$1800...but using other speaker...I am not really feel the power or cannot feel the different with or without the sub....may the area is open area
Desa recommend me another one...Porkaudio PSW125...$1500..I can hear the better bass....but don't still feel with or without which one is better.....just with increase boom.....

But I prefer down-firing Sub......

With my Jamo speaker....always ppl said it is better to have similar brand sub also...

Do you think...during AV fair 2008 will have better price?

Jamo sub 250 just ~$1200

Yes...I am thinking to get the Jamo Sub300 now.....but I decide to wait and see during AV fair....I hope during AV fair have better bargain....
Wonder have the Jamo dealer selling this unit during AV fair...?

Velodyne sub is better ...but you must pay more than 2K for similar power...

If you consider 2K above...there have many sub like HSU....

I don't like the veldyne sub which the type available in Malaysia...cause front firing...I prefer down firing sub

HSU is even powerful ....with similar price...but have not audit both sub. Knowledge based on review only for HSU and Velodyne sub ..which available in Malaysia...I think you better audit the sub first prior buy...advise from most of the blogger here....I didn't go to audit because out of my budget....

Expensive la.....I consider sub which $$$$ more than 2K is expensive......not cheap cheap already luh

how about the Jamo Sub 300? Anyone have this unit? can share share your view

All the ppl talk about Velodyne, wharfy etc sub...

Anyone know about Jamo Sub...is this sub is good?
I wanna to buy this sub after considering I have similar Jamo speaker

Anyone or someone have really testing this sub.... I really would like to hear the expect opinion....

Jamo SUB 300 takes the first prize in Stereo&Video’s comparative test

Sub 300 is a universal model representing wide opportunities. This subwoofer accurately adds bass on both floorstanding and bookshelf speakers’ ranges.

It is a highly musical product. SUB 300 is delicate to music, delivering punctual support to Home Cinema systems at quite moderate prices.

It shows that Jamo gives careful attention to all its acoustic systems - whether it is a subwoofer, floor-standing speaker or even iPod dock-station.

People around me tells me the downward firing subs are better than the front firing sub. Reason being is that the downward firing moves more air than the front firing one. The other reason is that the front firing usually moves air right in front of you-thus the name. They explained to me that this is not necessary a good thing. They said that the you can feel the downward firing subs even more than the front firing.

Basically, down-firing and front-firing subs are just different designs. There should not be significant performance difference except that down-firing subs tend to have more flexibility in terms of placement.

The down-firing units seem to be more solid, perhaps it is the lower center of gravity

The down-firing driver does provide some physical protection.

In ported subs, the difference is down-firing ports. Can do a very effective job of suppressing port noise. Eliminates port noise complaint

Where your dad brought the set HT?......

Come to KL coming weekend......KL AV show is here sooon.....

Get more knowledge and bargain there...

I think cheap sub shall be below 2K

Those sub below 1K is so so ...not accepatable sound quality
Those within 1 - 2K...cheap and acceptable for entry level to mid range sub

Below are some of my survey
Wharfy SW250 ....once I ask at Desa( Last two month ago)=> RM$1800
Jamo Sub 300....Last two week=> RM$1500
Jamo Sub 250....Last two week=>RM$1199
Yamaha SW515...once I ask at HN(last two Month ago)=>RM$1299
Polkaudio PSW125...once I ask at Desa(Last two Month ago)=> RM1500

Velodyne CHT10-R ~ RM2.1k (according to Htkaki)
Velodyne CHT12-R ~ RM2.7k

Any other price update....? before go to AV fair....really wish AV fair will have better price....

Jamo 300 Sub is initial my target sub to buy.....I saw the sub for RM1099....without warranty...I rather don't buy...cause I understand that is reject item from customer..according to them...just the box damaged....see the box...like being wet before....they also talk if rosak...what to repair...waaaa...then....my intuition tell me not to buy anything from there...all no warranty...leave

No chance to audit the Velodyne sub....go there too early......A&L not ready ...the two room is not ready.....

Alas, see the clearance stock....I brought the Jamo D6 Sub. (RM1650)....waaaa.....THX ultra 2 certified...definetely good la with THX....look somemore...400 watt RMS 700 Peak...waaaa so powerful.....compare all the wharfy or below 2K.. eg. Wharfy 250 sub $1800, Vel CHt-10R $1800..all below 300 watt RMS...somemore no THX.... .

No need to think la....just buy luh....somemore with warranty .....yeaaa....Actually never test much there...but when back home...I really feel very powerful ...the sub la....shaking ....wooo

Check website....waaa selling promotion price at US...for USD$1599...if reach here....sure more than 6K

The sub is new one....and somemore made from demark.....really I feel good deal

Yes...if no problem for one year...then will be good deal.....I saw your unit..and also your HT set 606.....everything is ok .....good deal

comparison....Jamo Sub 300 is just flat peak 300 watt only...and no THX....

If by comparison...even with warranthy.....I will choose my current one Jamo D6 Sub made in Demmark with 400RMS and 700 Peak (no need to say THX ultra 2)

Lucky I went there early friday.....if not, someone will sapu already..

Hi, I know Jamo 300 Sub very well. I have audit the sub many time and this sub is my initial target choice to purchase. I like the sub very much.

But, after all I buy another Jamo sub. After tested my sub Jamo D6 many times, with gun shooting movie, thunder storm sound, bass, DTS-ES music...etc....I really feel the sub very good. I had gone to audit other brand of sub...which many is claimed very good sub....I am not really find the different ....may be my sensitivity to sound not good....or due to i just learning.....

Even I have a big living room 24' x 16'(x 26 depend how it measure it) x 10' , I just put below half of the volume of sub, main av also not high vol, my wife from kitchen (other site) already can feel the deep low booom....I have to adjust the AV, subwoofer level to -3db to accomodate too strong......which I also not really like too strong deep boom also

Well, the sub is for concert series...I feel the quality of THX ultra 2 is fulfill...

No hard feeling please. .I just sharing my view.....

Do anyone have the THX sub? What model? I really want to go to audit other sub especially with THX...compare my unit....just for learning...

Of course la....Paradigm is famous and high end unit la

Here talk about entry level sub which is cheap sub or well below 2K la
I only make comparison with those below 2K only la. Compare apple to apple la...not apple vs watermellon la

Moreover, loudness cannot determine the quality. and I expect paradigm is good good sub. Never have chance to audit yet.

Mee too...normally i also well below 40....I don't like too loud....long term loudness can cause damage your hearing...

I also control the sub ...when movie...I will adjust higher volume at sub...ker meh...feel the shooting heat.....music..I will control the sub low volume....too much bass....will spoil the music.....


According to OSHA, the exposure time limits are
Exposure Time ; Exposure Level (measured in dB SPL)
8 Hours ;90 dB SPL
6 Hours ;92 dB SPL
4 Hours ;95 dB SPL
3 Hours ;97 dB SPL
2 Hours ;100 dB SPL
1.5 Hours ;102 dB SPL
1 Hours ;105 dB SPL
.5 Hours ;110 dB SPL
<.25 Hours ;115 dB SPL

Repeated exposure to sounds that cause temporary threshold shifts results in permanent damage to the ear in the form of a permanent threshold shift . The ear loses sensitivity in the frequencies 3,000 Hz through 6,000 Hz, resulting in a "notch" in the hearing range. Time of exposure is important, the louder the sound, the less exposure time before permanent damage sets in.

This safety precaution just to tell people...don't play play with loudness...without knowing you with damage yourself hearing..not only this your but children is your victim most of the time...

Awareness is more important....
